Reading the Compass Ribbon

The compass ribbon appears as a horizontal bar on your screen, typically positioned near the top. It shows cardinal directions to help you navigate and orient yourself in the world.

What You'll See

  • Cardinal Points: North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W) are displayed along the ribbon
  • Player Coordinates: Your current X, Y, and Z position appears alongside the compass
  • Direction Indicator: A marker shows which direction you're currently facing

Using the Information

Use the compass ribbon to:

  • Quickly identify which direction you're traveling
  • Note your coordinates for marking important locations
  • Navigate back to previous bases or landmarks by remembering their coordinates
  • Coordinate with other players by sharing your position

The minimalist design keeps this information visible without blocking your view of the game world.
